Derek Zoolander and Hansel stopped by Weekend Update to talk politics and fashion, but mostly fashion. Hansel is sure to let Colin know, “We’re not here to talk about fashion. We’re here to talk about the one thing everyone wants male models to talk about—politics.” But when pushed for more information, like “what specifically about politics?” Hansel clarifies, “Fashion.”

In the case of Hillary Clinton, Hansel celebrates her for being from the 90’s, which are so hot right now. And Zoolander says her “style reminds me of one of my all time fashion icons: Kim Jong-un.” And he has to point out, “Not to name drop, but I’m pretty good friends with his sister, Kim Kardishi-un.”

Bernie doesn’t get such high praise from the pair. “Bernie is a champion of the 99 percent—apparently, 99 percent off at JC Penney.” And they have some harsh words for Tom Cruise, also known as “Zed Cruz?!” Watch the clip to see what they think of Donald Trump’s signature looks.
